(a) Consider a closed economy whose desired savings (Sd) and desired investment (Id) are given by the following expressions: CC₂ rd where r denotes the real interest rate. Find the equilibrium in the Goods market for this economy, and represent it in a graph. From now on, suppose there are two large Countries in the world, say Canada (Ca) and the United States (US). Ca (b) To start with, assume that both Countries are closed economies. Their desired consumption (Cd) and desired investment (I) are given by: Cus Its Sd Id = = = = 100+ 600r 170 - 400r 10+ cca (Yca Tca) - 100r 15 - 100r 40+ cus (Yus - Tus) - 200r = 230 - 200r Moreover, output (Y), taxes (T), public expenditure (G), and the marginal propensity to consume (c) are as follows:

Suppose an economy produces only 2 products that will also be used for directconsumption, as per the article at the end of the exam: chicken wings and donuts. Inthe second quarter of 2021 (the base period), 180,000 pounds of chicken wings wereproduced, at a value of $3.50 per pound, while in the second quarter of 2022,production of chicken wings increased to 200,000 pounds, at a value of $3.75 perpound. In the second quarter of 2021 (the base period), 85,000 donuts were producedat a value of $0.85 per donut, while in the second quarter of 2022, donut productionincreased to 100,000 donuts, each at a value of $0.95 per donut. The population inthis economy is 1000 individuals in 2022, while the number of hours worked in 2022is 5000. Also, the quantities that were produced in 2021 represent the quantities thatwere purchased by the typical household, meaning that everything that was producedwas sold.d. Solve for the amount of labor productivity in the second quarter of 2022.e. Solve for the…
